back it up again. there's the low offshore tonight into tomorrow morning and then by noon. it's moving up and perhaps causing some significant weather up on its way up through reading red bluff up into the mount lassen area because they're still going to be still some significant instability with that system in the potential for it to bring a few showers to us overnight tonight into tomorrow is certainly a possibility as well into the morning hours as this this low right here. kicks on shore, and it's kind of making a little progressive move as we speak. it's starting to move a little bit on shore. i had some showers showing specifically here. we've got something up around ocean beach . it's moving in this direction, so it's rotating like this, but the whole complex is motivating kind of this way towards the towards the east towards the northeast. so it's kinda gonna go like that. so is it pulls through tonight? scattered showers. an outside chance of a thundershower, but scattered showers are real possibility more we did have some down in pedro valley down pacific area el granada and happened there. we had a few sprinkles there as

well. there's the low, just a cartoon image of it and it does it backs out or doesn't back at it goes out. leaves the high builds back in. so that's the story for the rest of the week. so after tomorrow by lunchtime, it's a distant memory for us, and it warms up. it means one today when the sun came out, right, especially when it was cloudy cloudy in the senate command, but it warm up 10 degrees like that. so here's that system again and it is starting to move out. you kind of see it pulling up that way. the forecast for tomorrow. the cloud cover the overnight lows and in the daytime highs tomorrow. yellows are seventies . so that's where we go tomorrow . a couple of those 70 upper seventies low eighties but no no. mid eighties or nineties it's going to be kind of a nice day with clouds. um maybe a sprinkle or shower in the morning. not yet the rainfall accumulations with this last couple of days has been good right in the coastal hills. couple inches north bay south bay. we've seen over an inch and a half and some areas around the bay. you know, certainly up in

welcome to subway's biggest refresh yet. they're drafting 12 new subs for their all-new subway series menu. you've never seen subs like this before chuck.

meteoric meatiness, and chowtown cheesiness... let's go to our panel for more appetizing analysis. the new monster's bacon has consummate craveable crispiness! the new boss is a perfect ten. (♪ ♪) wait, what are we talking about? gronk! thank you for... nothing. (laughs) the new subway series. what's your pick? everyone here's what's happening tonight in sports. a new chapter in baseball history was written tonight. the yankees aaron judge was sitting on 59 home runs for the season. he came up in the ninth against the pirates will crow no doubt about it that is number 60 as the yankee fans stood and cheered. judge rounded the bases as just the third american leaguer to ever reach that. mark. babe ruth hit 60. in 1927 roger maris hit 61 in 61. judge got to 67 games faster

than ruth judge has 15 games left to surpass maris and go even higher. but there was more. the yankees went into the ninth inning, trailing 8 to 4 after the judge homer they wanted to load the bases. giancarlo stanton came to the plate and did this. the five run ninth inning gives the yankees a 98 win a nice capper on judges record night. if the giants goal in their final 14 games is to finish the season with the winning record, they've still got a shot the tradition of passing baseball down generationally alive and well at coors field in denver giants and rocky scoreless tonight in the third inning, joey barton. it's a high fly ball to left. kyle freeland. bart thinks the balls out jonathan daza. randal grichuk can't decide which of them should make the catch. it falls into three base error. bart leader scored on a single by mike ostrowski. still one nothing game in the sixth when tyra estrada rides one opposite field and finds the gap in right center that scores austin slater , and it's two to nothing.

giants stand up double as david vr added a little padding to a 3 to 1 lead in the seventh. he finds the left field seats with his sixth on run of the year. six giants pitchers combined on a bullpen game for 63 win, they pull within six games. of the 500 marks. the aids hosting a mariners team very much in the wild card picture. jp sears pitch five shutout innings for oakland. abraham toro doesn't think so. but he's one of a series seven strikeout victims were down one nothing in the fifth, but tony kemp took care of that with one swing of the bat. kemp puts a louise castillo pitch over the right field fence with the pair of runners aboard. five days, pitchers combined to allow just one unearned run as oakland wins 4 to 1, the mariners holding down the third and final american league wild card spot, five games in front of baltimore. when it comes to the 49ers and the quarterback situation. any information is talked about, no matter how valid it may be a team doctor for the rams is weighing in

today on the condition of trey lance. the old news is that lance had surgery yesterday to address a broken bone and just placed ligaments as a result of that tackle in sunday's went over seattle. the new news is that dr kenneth zhang, foot and ankle surgeon is saying today that lance could be fully recovered in 10 to 12 weeks. that statement is getting some legs on social media today, but it should be noted that the doctor is basing his assumption on yesterday's statement by the 49ers, not a direct examination. 49ers worked out five quarterbacks today in search of someone to put on the practice squad. they signed curt banker who was a member of the packers until it was released in june of this year. this is preseason footage. banker was initially an undrafted free agent with the atlanta falcons played for both east carolina and virginia in college is taken to nfl kneel downs while with green bay blanket was chosen over veterans aj mccarron kevin hogan and, like lenin, who also worked out for the 49ers. the guy who's never taken an nfl snap. brock

purdy is jimmy garoppolo immediate backup. it's hard to argue with garoppolo credentials when he's been healthy in his four full seasons with the 49ers garoppolo has had to severely shortened by injury in the two healthy ones. he took the 49ers to a super bowl and an nfc championship game right now, his decision to come back as a backup to lance is well documented, but he still gets asked about it. just i'm comfortable here players, the scheme, all that stuff locker room. it's uncomfortable. it's from familiar with it. so it's just yeah, i'm not saying i knew this was gonna happen, but i was ready for this in case it did happen and just want to take advantage of the opportunity. every backup quarterback talks about. you gotta prepare like a starter. but i mean, i'm jimmy's really he's been practicing for, like, two weeks. and um, you know, we've changed a few things , but he came in there and just he ran everything like a well oiled machine man. check this out time on a tuesday night, the

white sox hosting cleveland, the guardians a med rosario. it's a blueprint to write that ball is headed for basic territory. right tell the white sox josh harrison flattens out and take that hit away great effort by harrison, but cleveland was still attend to seven winner cleveland the number one team in the central. i know you knew that mike and the human spirit is much stronger than some of the obstacles we face. this is a unique football league in england. that demonstrates even if you've had to overcome something that's dating as an amputation. you can still pursue the sports you love. love it great, impressive, athleticism, determination to do that. yeah that's right. alright thanks, joe. next at 11. we are following some developing news for you right now. firefighters are on the scene of a huge fire burning at a stanley andrew business. the 11 o'clock news on ktvu. fox two starts now. hello again. i'm claudine wong mike mibach. let's get right to
